The Hang Loose cottage has three bedrooms. The master bedroom contains a queen bed with a private master bathroom containing both a shower and a tub.

If by check, we require a $300.00 security or damage deposit to reserve your stay at the cottage.

The security/damage deposit will be refunded to you shortly after your departure once we have confirmed that there is no damage to the cottage.

If you choose to pay by credit card we will not require the security deposit, but we will require payment of ½ of the rent at the time of booking. The other half is due three weeks before check in. We will email you an invoice that will allow you to pay on line with the card of your choice.

All amounts once paid are non-refundable in the event that we are unable to obtain a replacement rental.
